Chácobo New Testament (CAOWBT)

Overview

New Testament in Chácobo (BL:cao:Chácobo), titled Dios Chani, published in 2010 by Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc. The Chácobo are a Panoan-speaking people of the Beni Department in northeastern Bolivia, living primarily near the Ivon and Benicito rivers, with a population of roughly 550–860 ethnic Chácobo. [1][2] Translation work was carried out by SIL missionaries Gilbert R. and Marian Prost, who arrived among the Chácobo in 1955, in 1964 helped consolidate scattered groups at Alto Ivón on the Yata-Benicito rivers, and spent approximately twenty-five years living within the community, producing extensive linguistic documentation alongside the New Testament. [2][3] The Chácobo New Testament was first published in 1979 by Liga Bíblica Internacional; the 2010 edition is a revision of that earlier translation work and is also available as a digital mobile application.
